An additional pressure gradient is needed in certain low permeability oil formations to enable fluid flow to overcome viscous forces. That minimum pressure gradient has been referred to as the threshold pressure gradient; TPG. This effect is accentuated with the presence of wellbore storage effects. A new model involving wellbore storage effects is developed and presented here along an interpretation technique so the TPG can be easily and accurately estimated from transient pressure analysis and it was successfully tested by means of a synthetic test.
